Holy shit batman. Yet another awesome Rafnix to be posted on farkin.
I like the fact that you've gone Black deity instead of the white.
If you don't mind me asking mate, how much was everything all up?
Cheers:)

Everything should be done by late next week. Bah.. the waiting.
What you are looking at in the first photo cost around the $2400 mark. I think I've done well.

Yeah Clifton! Looks sick already! You've chosen perfect parts for her, so it'll be sweet to see it built at LAST.

BAHAHAH your chains upside down...

yea i saw that....it looks alright, if you re-did your chain, but why do you have a brake????

whats the point.

Callan.
12-05-2007, 06:06 PM
Sweet bike.

Flip your chain the right way round, and while your doing it take couple links out and put in a half link, will look much better with slammed chainstay's..

Next hardtail of the month for sure.
It will def get my vote.

nickmann
12-05-2007, 11:03 PM
looks cool as. the only thing im not to keen on would be the seat. but yeh nice:)

Tristan23
12-05-2007, 11:48 PM
Shit yeah Clifton. That's freaking beautiful:eek:

Extremely extremely nice. Come for a city ride soon?

kliobas
13-05-2007, 12:56 AM
sorry its total ****

joking of course :p i would suggest to adjust your brake cable at the caliper (you can loosen that 8mm nut a bit and change the direction of cable, check the manual). chain is upside down, turn it over and tension a bit as it looks really bad when chain is that loose. eveything else is fine, good luck man! LAST rules ;)

real nice bike, mate... but... not a fan of the saints on it at all

Cameo
13-05-2007, 07:34 AM
26", the way it should be.

Real nice rig buddy.

13-05-2007, 11:06 AM
, will look much better with slammed chainstay's..
I don't think he would be able to slam his wheel through the chainstay in much further because his rear tyre would rub his seat tube, it's pretty close already :eek: .


A really really nice bike mate, though it reckon it would look nicer with black spokes but who cares. It's f***ing mint, good work :D .

So you can stop, but above all it enables you to more tricks.
